The Logo of Bayview United Church

Bayview United Church came into existence on Sunday September 28, 2014 when Centennial-Japanese United Church (CJUC) and Oriole-York Mills United Church (OYM) officially amalgamated. The location of the church remains at 2609 Bayview Avenue, north of York Mills Road in Toronto and Rev Cindy Cooper will continue on as the minister. The new phone number is 416-447-5941.
The amalgamation team wanted to see several different iterations of the same theme, a cross or dove to represent faith, or a globe to represent the world. The idea was to pick a theme that most liked and to clean it up from there. Ultimately, the most popular choice was a simplified globe with a cross and spirit lines to incorporate God, faith and the world. After some discussions on colour and sizing we had our final product!
